I have no idea. I didn't see what you saw. I do know that I did contact
the company that someone in this thread suggested and they do not use a recruiting agency and they do not charge $25.00 to run a background check.
As I said, I didn't know. I had no idea it was such a sensitive area. I said I'm sorry. sm

I agree 100%. You people have absolutely no idea
of this person's capacity for selflessness and generosity, to the point of putting herself last in an effort to achieve many goals and in the face of adversities I wouldn't wish on the harshest critics here (although youse guys are tempting me!). If you didn't cut with through her, there is a reason for that and I know her employer cuts to the chase much more deftly than you would be able to withstand so I know she backs this recruiter 100%. They both can run circles around you. You have no idea how tightly knit some MTSOs are and the ones here bad mouthing this person won't stand a chance getting a job in certain places if their lives depended on it.
Go sell crazy somewhere else.
I agree. I mean I realize you have to have some idea what people are doing
because of the work that has to be done but not to this extent. You are right, I might as well be an employee somewhere. She doesnt hire employees just IC so I expect she feels a need to rule them like that or she has a problem with controlling people. It almost seems like that. There are other vendors on the account so maybe it is greed to keep pushing and pushing to get as much as she can. Who knows.
Good idea!

good idea
I am good...six years experience, good accuracy....I'll take your advice...I haven't signed anything yet..thanks! Are you happy there? They want to send me to St. Louis office.
Good idea, this is what I have done too smn
with the same point being made, waste of valuable time I ask wha is the lowest to ghe highest line rate, period. I can tell right there whether or not I will take test etc. Some want 6 reports and this takes a lot of time. More and more must turn down these low low rates and it will start to turn around the slave labor, below federal poverty level ($24,000 a year) Good grief it is down to 4 cents a line offers made, I bet India MT make more than that.
Good idea, and then you too
 could be an independant contractor
Good idea

Good idea!
I do have caller ID and I might give that a try! At least it might annoy them enough to stop calling!
That's a good idea...
... if you feel like you're bugging the bosses (collect questions). I've never felt sheepish about sending off questions. If the answers indicated they were bothered, I would do what you do, but that never happens. I get the same response the others do -- very quick response. If the responder doesn't know the answer, they find someone who does. The left hand even seems to know what the right hand is doing. Tech support is fantastic and quick to respond as well. Otherwise, they leave me alone, which I appreciate very much. Just let me work, I say. I have an excellent rapport with the folks. Two years and looking forward to a bunch more.
Good idea, maybe they will do that. - nm

Good idea! TY...nm

Good idea, so sad though
Well, I'm still hoping there are good companies out there that pay for experience, or at least have manners to get back to you after you take their test and put in the effort. Thanks for the suggestion. I may have to hang up my keyboard soon!
Good idea...
I am a black-white type of personality so I always either worked for one company or another; never two at one time. I may try this. You know what they say about desperate times and desperate measures, right? Thanks.
Not a good idea
Was promised a raise for months...never happened...and then CUT!
Got a good idea for this.
When someone asks about doing this job just ask if they have ever talked to a place where they might do business and they have to talk to someone who speaks with a foreign accent, could they understand everything they were saying. If the answer is no, just tell them that is what you hear mostly all day long. That should put the conversation to rest.
Thank you! Good idea about the IM. I certainly....sm
understand the need to have a grip on production and turn around and I never minded when called and asked if I could pitch in a little extra. I also didn't mind when work got a little slow and I could take some time off. That was the old days. This is now.
Good idea. Does anyone know (see msg)
Anyone know how to set this up or willing to do? I was able to set up one on FB that is secret - meaning it will not show up in your profile and will not show up on a search and you can only be invited by administrator, which means the administrator (at this second, on this group I set up, would be me, but I don't think FB is for everyone, a lot of people avoid it)... so whoever moderates a yahoo list or something like this would be faced that we don't know each other and may allow others on who we would prefer not be there. Ideas on how to go about this so that only MDI MTs who need and want to give support to one another would be allowed onto such a list or group?
good idea
I just posted 2 different ones for AHK and Instant Text. Then you can know my secret identity. Lol. Productivity Talk is also a great place for ideas on Auto Hot Key. That's too bad about Instant Text. I know it is rather pricey.
Good idea - don't. She was with OSi for several years
obviously a wrong move... she didn't know how her new boss is-- that she gets rid of anyone who knows more than her which of course is most people. Damn shame but heck she already has 2 other jobs and 3 more offers which should say something for her.
Thanks for the responses. Good idea!! nm

That is not a good idea. What if there is an emergency?
What if someone in your family has an emergency and needs to reach you?
Would it be a good idea to reapply to
Keystrokes. Got an e mail from Keystrokes looking for MTs. This is the second I got in a couple of months where they stated they were hiring. By the way, I am an acute care Transcriptionist with lots of years in the business.
Here's the deal: I worked for them briefly,very briefly last winter. But it was too difficult having several jobs and could not keep it with another full time job, so I had to leave. Now, have an IC job, but keep running out of work. Don't need benefits, husband provides them, so that is no longer an issue.
Last spring, wanted to go back working there, but was too afraid that there was some kind of list of MTs who quit and won't be hired again. So, I did not try.
Receiving this e mail from them makes me think I would like another crack at this company. What are your thoughts? Do you think this e mail I just got from them is a mass mailing or a true invite to come back. If so, I would definitely be interested.
I don't want to make a fool out of myself if this was a mass mailing of past resumes and then I get my hopes up and am not hired.
Sorry such a long post. Just hard to describe quandry. Any suggestions well appreciated. Thanks!
That's not a good idea SallieAnn
Nobody in the USA should work for that, not even babysitters. There are jobs out there that pay way better.
I have a pretty good idea but
let the brilliant Millie from below answer that. She's your TT gal.
sound likes a good idea
and I do not believe it is just one MT...surely the company has at least a couple skilled MTs. TAT is the name of the game and is what keeps every one having work.
Good Idea. You are smart to wait. nm

I never ever discuss pay of any kind, just not a good idea
because what one person gets paid may not be the same as another and it can cause hurt feelings and problems. I will tell you that the downtime pay is the same as vacation pay - LOL.
Not only is it not a good idea to save reports
to show quality, it is ILLEGAL. If you don't know the content of HIPAA, you should not be MTing.
I had no idea, I thought Medware was one of the good guys.
Guess I won't be applying with them after all.
To those already with them, I hope you can all agree to not assist offshore typists to take jobs from US MTs.
Transcend offshores, so I have a pretty good idea...
where the 40-50 reports are disappearing during *your* night (*their* day shift).
DSG supposedly doesn't offshore, so darned if I know why we keep running out of work, though I'm guessing just plain old overhiring; no doubt of displaced MTs from other offshoring companies, so it affects everybody, regardless of whether the MTSO actually offshores or not.
i don't know if saving your reports to show quality is a good idea
:)
I saw this posted some time ago and thought then, hmmm, not a good idea
You were outraged and it was very apparent as you spoke then of they knew who you were and you really spoke your mind. I know we are supposed to have freedom of speech but having said this it was like you did not care if someone came after you and now, well seems like that has happened. I am not saying it is right but sometimes good to keep thoughts to yourself, especially now since you have heard from the state. You said you are flattered. I would never been flattered to have someone sue me. Seems like you bit off more than you can chew.
You have no idea what you are talking about. My income tax return says I am making a good living
:+
Thanks for the advice. The idea of clinic work sounds good, but I do feel comfortable with acute ...
care. I have a lot of experience with operative notes, DS, consults, radiology etc.. but I am not that thrilled with ESLs. It is just harder to make money on them. I think I will look into clinic work. It was only the lack of work that was bothering me about these companies and mismanaging the accounts they did have, broken promises, and just getting the runaround.. over everything from benefits to work.
Didn't come from OSi but definitely agree......
my experience with Axolotyl as been nothing but positive since my start at the beginning of September!!!!!
Yikes. I didn't get that far but I agree. Stuff
Even though I always hit TAT, I wouldn't want that hanging over my head. I'd surely hope they'd make exception if you got violently ill or something, but ya never know these days.Glad I dodged that one.
Not to stir up trouble, but when we signed on didn't we agree not to
if we had questions or concerns? My just reading this makes my skin crawl but if I were really concerned, I would talk to my sup. right away, as they suggest... I am not management, just a concerned MT as people keep saying things on this board when we are constantly reminded not to do this hear, that is spread around facts which are not proven. Why not just talk to the job directly if you don't have work instead of getting the rest of us upset here?
Really?? I didn't know that! Good to know, thx. nm

agree, i didn't take the position because the health insurance stinks
the deductibles are too high
Good for you. Just hope you didn't
displace a former MT who worked for the transcription company. A friend of mine is an MT with a national and is in a situation where her company hired the former Transcriptionist of the client/customer and she's losing her account because of it because they're bending over backwards to keep the former employee happy and my friend is very upset about the preferential treatment this new MT is receiving.
Oh, guess it is good I didn't then:)

Good to know. Didn't know there was a base raise
//
I did and didn't have any trouble. Good luck!
Didn't Webmedx get good reviews here?
I was under the impression they were a-ok? Hmm...
i didn't find the communication to be good
well, it was as long as i said everything was rosey. Soon as things weren't so perfect, they became much less than friendly.
Back in the days of YOG FN didn't have a good
name either. Your post shows just how unprofessional FN is and surely does not entice anyone to apply with your company. Even if what the person posted is not true, you could have chosen to take the high road, but instead you took the low road.
I didn't have the best experience, but it was not a good fit for me. Still waiting to get
hh
Yes. I wouldn't classify them as good or bad. Pay was okay. Account I was on was okay. Didn&#
like my supervisor very much. She was kind of disorganized and didn't really communicate all that effectively. All in all, pretty comparable to other places I've worked. There was a problem with running out of work and when you are an employee instead of IC you are expected to sit there and keep checking for work during your shift which kind of sucked cause you didn't get paid for basically being on-call.
Webmedx didn't about 1-1/2 years ago. Good luck. nm
